You must always add intros, skits and other short-term tracks to the album track-list!
You can rate them by following rules:
- by esthetic reasons – if you liked it;
- if it fits to the album atmosphere;
- compared to other intros, skits etc you have ever heard.
It would be right not to compare intros, skits etc with other full tracks.
To be objective in ratings we did some limits by quantity of songs:
1) 3 or less - you can rate all tracks by 1 or 10;
2) 4 tracks - you can rate 3 of them by 1 or 10;

4) 6 or more tracks - you can rate 70% of them by 1 or 10.
